This picture is of a shack in an African American community in Florida. This picture is a good example of the Great Depression because it shows the conditions that African Americans were forced to live in. They mostly lived in groups of shacks on the outskirts of towns.

What I see in the picture is four of African Americans sitting in front of a store. They are all sitting on benches on the sidewalk. The first thing that I notice is the car in the corner of the picture. The physical setting of the picture is on the side of a street in front of a store. If somebody were to make this image today, I think the outside of the store would look different, and the car in the corner would be more modern. When I look at the picture, I wonder why they are sitting there, and what the posters on the outside of the store are advertising.

In the picture, I see a house with a Negro woman standing by the doorway, and a girl kneeling near by. On the side of the house are poles with telephone or electrical wires. I think the reason that this picture was taken was to show how, in the South, the houses owned by Negroes were smaller and built more poorly than houses owned by white people. The two houses in the picture are both small, and are made out of wood. When I look at this picture, I wonder when this picture was taken, as well as who the woman in the picture is.

This picture shows a family of Negroes in front of a house, with a field in the background. The picture was probably taken on the outskirts of a town, because there aren't any buildings in the background. I think that the reason that this image was made was to show the way that Negroes were living in the South during the Great Depression. The family in the picture looks like they are probably poor, and their house is more like a cabin and has holes in the walls. From examining this image, I can learn how Negroes lived during the Great Depression.

Sign above moving picture theater, Waco, Texas
This picture is of a sign over a movie theater in Waco, Texas. On the bottom of the sign, it says "exclusive colored theatre", so it's only for colored people. I think that the reason this picture was taken was to show how segregation affected the way people lived in the South. If this image was made today, the theater would not just be for colored people. Instead, it would not be segregated.
Cafe in warehouse district during tobacco auction season. Durham, North Carolina
This picture is of a restaurant in Durham, North Carolina. Above the door, there is a sign with the word white on it, meaning that the door is for whites only. I think this picture was taken in order for it to be an example of segregation in the South during the Great Depression. I think the audience that this picture was meant for was people in the North, so that they could learn about segregation in the South. When I look at this picture, I wonder why the people in the South thought it was a good idea for black people and white people to have separate doors into buildings.
Lunchroom near Belle Glade, Florida
This picture is of a restaurant near Belle Glade, Florida, called the Choke 'Em Down Lunch Room. On the sign, below where it says what they have, it says that both white people and colored people are served. Also in the picture is a woman standing in front of the restaurant. I think the reason that this picture was taken was to show that some businesses in the South served both white customers and colored customers, even though others didn't. If somebody took a picture like this today, it might be the same, except for where it says that they serve whites and colored people. Today, it wouldn't need to say that, because all restaurants would.
